Today I got to put my hands on a great website called Code Avengers. It’s geared more for younger kids so I am definitely jealous that I did not have this around as tool to get me more into programming. Code Avengers does a great job giving you real world examples of the responsibilities of a programmer. I created a username and got started right away again with learning how to use the alert command as well as var. 
The lessons are very very easy to begin with as the website like, like I said, is geared towards the younger crowd looking to get interested in what programming feels like. The only thing I didn’t like was the stupid satellite shooting game the website keeps trying to get you to play in-between lessons as some sort of reward. I JUST WANT TO LEARN MORE CODE.
Other than that, lessons 4 contain a lot of math and I got a refresher on a lot of simple mental math that programmers definitely must be proficient at (so I’m told)
One thing though that might scare kids off is that to be a programmer often constitutes getting a computer science degree WHICH is considered ENGINEERING. Yea… engineering. For those of you out there in the college crowd you know that’s an insane amount of work.
One little thing that I did re-learn today was the /n command that indents your string to a new line. I know it’s very little but I want to document even little things like this. I can’t remember off the top of my head if /n is the same in other languages.
We shall see.
